Passage #6 Journalism

Stardate 4.616789456 Captain Eli John Kirk Speaking.
It is the beginning of the end. My journey will soon be over. The quest, to complete the most glorious of passages is soon to come to completion. When I started I was no more than a naïve boy, setting out to the sunset. Now I return, triumphant. With the plans written down on an aged yellow paper in my back pocket, I return. To complete what has never been completed before.
Now I could go on and on about the amazingness of what I am doing, but I think you already know. My Dear Faithfully Brown Haired Reader. So let’s get down to business, to defeat the Huns. It took a long time, but now I have what I need to make a fantastic Passage. I met with my expert and my teacher today. They both helped me get an idea of how I am going to present, and that was all I need. So now for the finale, please come… to my passage.

Dear Annoyingly Persistent Reader,
You should go away now; I am trying to sleep… However I can see you are not going away, therefore I will tell where I am in my passage.
I am extremely stressed out, I feel like I left everything pertaining to my passage to last minute. I have done my research, and read a ton of newspapers, but I have no idea how to condense and present my information. I plan on meeting both my expert and Mr. Holz-Russell tomorrow. Hopefully they can clear up this mess that I have made. So with some hope I fall asleep, and in the morning I shall salvage from the wreckage a new and glorious passage.

Falling Asleep,

Dear Faithfull Reader,
I have taken the advice of my expert and have started to read the Denver post. Some problems are that reading the news is time consuming. So I need to set aside time to just sit my butt down and read, I also may have to decide some sections of the paper to read and others not to.
I am also worried about how I will present this passage, therefore I will be meeting with Mr. Holz-Russelll today.

Passage Blog #2-Journalism

Dear Brown Haired Reader,

I met with my expert on journalism on Thursday. He is a manager and editor of the IJN newspaper. I told him I needed some direction with my Passage. He asked me what I was thinking and I told him maybe writing in different journalism styles. He told me to forget about writing for now, and to focus on reading the Denver post once a day, and the New York Times once in a while and the IJN once a week. This way I could see the differences and similarities between each newspaper. He said one of the most important parts of Journalism is to know what is going on around you.
Another question I asked was whether or not I should focus on the radio or Television news programs. He told me that the newspaper is the heart and soul of journalism, and that one week of reading the news would give me more insight on journalism than listening or watching the TV. for a year.
I will start doing this right away!

Dear reader- scratch that. Dear Fantastic Reader,

I am doing my Passage on Journalism.  What do I know about the topic, almost nothing.  Just its for newspapers and magazines and stuff like that.  I have been trying to meet with an editor of a Newspaper and I have met some obstacles.  He was in New Jersey for a while, but now he is back.  The problem is he can’t meet with me till Thursday night at 8:30.  Its frustrating cause I am just sitting/typing and not doing much else.  Hopefully when I meet with him he will give me some sort of direction so I can finally start my new Passage.

Humbly,

Eli Tessler
